Three product recalls were posted on the government's Product Safety website on 10 November. One is a baby monitor sold at major electronics stores. The other two involve a roof-top tent and mountain bike suspension forks.
Eufy Smart Sock T8340
What it is: a baby monitor sock with a sensor, model number T8340.
Where it was sold: JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Noel Leeming and Heathcotes, between 1 January 2023 and 30 July 2026.
The problem: Anker Innovations, which trades as Eufy, says the glue holding the top cover on the sensor may not be strong enough. In rare cases the cover can come off. A detached cover could be a choking hazard if a baby puts it in their mouth.
What to do:
- Find the serial number on the side of the sensor and enter it on the Eufy New Zealand website to see whether your unit is affected.
- If it is, Eufy will give you a refund. It will ask you to destroy the product and send proof or written confirmation that you have done so.
- Contact: babysupport@eufy.com or 0800 207 521, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.
Darche Solar Roof Top Tent
What it is: the Darche Solar Roof Top Tent, SKU T050801577.
Where it was sold: the Darche retail store in Auckland and darche.co.nz, between 1 July 2025 and 4 November 2026.
The problem: Darche says a steel reinforcement plate inside each aluminium hinge can put too much pressure on the hinge when the tent is closed. The hinge may crack or break. If that happens, the upper part of the tent could come away from the vehicle, which could cause a crash and seriously injure people in the car or other road users.
What to do:
- Stop using, opening or closing the tent.
- Don't drive with the tent mounted, even for a short distance.
- If a hinge is cracked, loose or damaged, park safely and keep people away from the tent.
- Contact Darche to register for a free professional hinge replacement. Don't drive to a retailer or repairer unless Darche tells you to.
- Contact: 0800 327 243 or recall@darche.co.nz.
RockShox ZEB forks
What it is: four models of RockShox ZEB mountain bike suspension forks: ZEB Ultimate B1, ZEB Ultimate Flight Attendant B1, ZEB Select+ B1 and ZEB Select B1. Affected forks have serial numbers from 07T6XXXXXXXX to 42T6XXXXXXXX. The serial number is on the back of the fork crown.
The recall also covers some CSU and sealhead assembly spare parts made between week 7 and week 42 of 2026.
Where it was sold: at 29 bike shops around the country between 22 April and 27 October 2026, including Burkes Cycles, Giant Wellington, Pushbikes Papanui and Cyclezone Rotorua. The full list is on the Product Safety recall notice.
The problem: the distributor, W H Worrall & Co (Worralls), says manufacturer SRAM found some forks have an upper tube that is out of specification. A hard impact that makes the fork extend sharply could dislodge a snap ring, so the fork suddenly loses air pressure. That could cause a loss of control and a crash.
What to do:
- Check the serial number on the back of the fork crown.
- If it is in the affected range, stop riding the bike until further guidance is given. Worralls says a remedy will be confirmed later.
- Contact: 0800 80 80 20 or ZEBrework@worrall.co.nz.
Your rights with unsafe products
Product Safety NZ says the Consumer Guarantees Act gives you the right to a refund, repair or replacement if a product is unsafe. If no replacement becomes available, contact the business to arrange another remedy.
You can search the full list of current recalls, by category, on productsafety.govt.nz. Food recalls are listed separately by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
Earlier this month, two toy sets sold at dollar stores were recalled over a choking risk, and GASGAS dirt bikes were recalled over a front brake fault.
